Sunrise & Sunset

Sunrise and sunset provides a gateway to stunning photographs. The dramatic angled light creates a unique backdrop. But the clouds, not the sun, set the scene. The trick to taking stunning sunrise and sunset photographs is having the right balance—too few and the sky is featureless—too many and the dramatic light disappears. Factor in the types of clouds (altostratus, altocumulus), the precipitation, and the haze and you've got a pretty complex equation.

Well, we've done that math for you—layering in all of the above and then some, to output an easy-to-read prediction of what you can expect from the sky. All you need to do is click and snap. (Yes, you'll need to do that part yourself!)
